Driving your vehicle
746
When Active ECO is activated:
• The acceleration may slightly be
reduced even though you depress
the accelerator fully.
• The air conditioner performance
may be limited
• The shift pattern of the automatic
transaxle may change.
• The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when the Active Eco
System is activated to improve fuel
efficiency.
Limitation of Active ECO opera-
tion:
If the following conditions occur while
Active ECO is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
• When the coolant temperature is
low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
• When driving up a hill:
The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
the engine torque is restricted.
• When using manual mode:
The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
• When the accelerator pedal is
deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.
SPORT mode
SPORT mode focuses on
dynamic driving by auto-
matically adjusting the
steering wheel, engine
and transaxle system.
• When the DRIVE MODE button is
pressed and the SPORT mode is
selected, the SPORT indicator
(yellow) will illuminate.
• Whenever the hybrid system is
restarted, the Drive Mode will revert
back to ECO mode. If SPORT
mode is desired, re-select SPORT
mode from the DRIVE MODE but-
ton.
• If the system is activated:
- While holding vehicle speed, it
maintains the gear and RPM for
some time even though the accel-
erator pedal is not depressed.
- Up-shifting is delayed.
